Nothing makes a celebration better than a surprise ‘handi’ of delicious biryani! Living up to the sentiment of this statement until now was the ‘bhai’ of Bollywood, Salman Khan whose generous acts towards his cast and crew members have often been the talk of Bolly town. Following his footsteps closely with not one but three scrumptious handis of biryani was the popular Punjabi Singer and big foodie Navraj Hans. To celebrate the victory of &TV’s Love Me India finalists, while also lightening the environment for the ones still in the battle, the North zone captain Navraj Hans gave them a delicious grand surprise. Believing in the very thought that food can almost solve any problem, the singer brought 30 kgs of aromatic veg and non-veg Awadhi biryani for the entire cast and crew of the show. From the captains to the contestants to the spot dadas, each one was a part of this mouth-watering biryani treat on the set just a few hours before the shoot.

“Being a die heart foodie, I firmly believe that food is definitely one thing that can lighten one’s day and relieve stress. Biryani is one of my favourites and I am someone who is extremely particular about the taste and quality it offers.  Punjabi hoon after all! I ordered this from one of my favourite Lucknowi eateries. This is just a small gift from my end to all the lovely people of Love Me India who work day and night to present a great show. It’s a little surprise for not just my zonal kids but for the other contestants as well. The pressure to win and the constant need to practice can surely be tiring, so I hoped this surprise cheered them up and relieved them of their routine a bit.” said Navraj.

Well, Navraj’s biryani truly turned out to be a lucky charm for the 7-year old contestant, Harshita Bhattacharjya who with her soulful and adorable voice is the latest contestant to make her space in the finale round of Love Me India.
